Two Lines on a Stick

By Vicki 9 Comments

two-lines-on-a-stick

How appropriate that this Monday’s gratitude post should come as we are celebrating the pending arrival of baby #4! You may have noticed the baby-heavy list from a couple weeks ago that I was getting baby fever. I’m very excited for this new addition to our family.

261.  rainy mornings

262.  sleeping in on a Monday!

263.  waking up not as sore as expected

264.  playing baseball with the kids

265.  watching the kids practice

266.  realizing early in the week that you have a lot to accomplish that week

267.  finding my favorite cereal on sale

268.  finding healthier cereals that are comparable in price to the junk we used to eat

269.  streamlining our meals

270.  seeing value in a weed

wishes

271.  seeing beauty in a weed

272.  deciding to cultivate a weed because it has value to our diet and our chickens’

273.  steps to feeding our chickens from our property only

274.  how baby steps add up to a long journey over time

275.  being excited to blog

276.  the last six weeks of our homeschool year (now complete!)

277.  realizing I will have a 3rd grader, a 2nd grader and a kindergartener next homeschool year!
